Job Description
Description
This home-based (remote) position is open to Washington residents and those living in Oregon and Idaho, as well as candidates outside this area who are willing to relocate to Washington, Oregon, or Idaho within 30 days of their start date. Work may be performed remotely or from our office located in Tumwater, WA, based on the employee's preference.
The Opportunity
The Department of Health’s Office of Financial Services provides the financial and operational foundation that supports the agency’s work. As Deputy Chief Financial Officer, you’ll partner with the CFO to lead the office’s strategic and day-to-day operations, overseeing 175 FTE.
This is a broad enterprise leadership role with influence well beyond Financial Services. You’ll advise the Secretary of Health, Chief of Staff, and executive leadership on financial, operational, and administrative matters; help shape agency policies and procedures; and represent the financial perspective in decisions that affect the agency.
Key Responsibilities Include:
Leading Financial Services Operations
- Partner with the CFO to provide strategic and operational direction for the Office of Financial Services.
- Lead strategic planning and monitor and report on Financial Services performance measures.
- Oversee the day-to-day operations, performance, efficiency, and effectiveness of the office, incorporating LEAN and quality improvement into daily work.
- Provide leadership and oversight for Accounting and Grant Services, Emergency Response Finance, the Performance Improvement Team, and administrative staff.
- Support budget proposals and adjustments.
Leading People and Organizational Performance
- Promote employee engagement, professional development, and a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
- Oversee recruitment, hiring, performance management, separation, and grievance matters for Financial Services.
- Coach and support supervisors in effective performance management.
Shaping Enterprise Policy and Financial Operations
- Lead the development, implementation, maintenance, and review of enterprise financial and administrative policies and procedures.
- Ensure financial policies and procedures remain aligned with state and federal requirements.
- Participate in the DOH Policy Review Committee and provide recommendations on the financial and operational impact of agency policies and initiatives.
- Support the Financial Operations Group in coordinating financial and budgetary matters across the agency.
- Provide guidance to other Central Business Services offices on the development and management of the agency’s indirect cost proposal.
Providing Financial Leadership During Emergencies
- Lead financial aspects of emergency preparedness and response activities, including fiscal and contracting functions.
- Provide staffing and leadership for Finance Section Chief, Deputy Finance Section Chief, and Timekeeper roles during Incident Management Team activations.
- Coordinate Financial Services responsibilities with the Agency Duty Officer and Agency Coordination Center Director during emergency response.
- Serve in succession as CFO during a Continuity of Operations activation.
Influencing Agency-Wide Decisions
- Co-facilitate the Agency Deputies Group and contribute the financial perspective to agency policy, information technology, and administrative decisions.
- Advise agency leadership on financial management, policies, procedures, resource allocation, and enterprise initiatives.
- Represent the Department of Health on statewide workgroups, committees, and partnerships with other state and federal agencies and national organizations.
What This Role Offers
Your financial leadership will have an impact far beyond Financial Services. You’ll help ensure the Department of Health has the resources, financial practices, and operational foundation needed to carry out our work and communities we serve across Washington.
You’ll work alongside agency leadership on decisions that shape how resources are managed, how the organization operates, and how it prepares to respond when Washington faces an emergency. You’ll also help protect funding and financial resources that support the agency and its ability to work with local health jurisdictions, tribes, and community-based organizations.

Mid Level Chief Financial Officer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a mid level chief financial officer job?
Position your experience around ownership and impact: highlight budgets you managed, forecasts you built from scratch, and decisions you influenced directly. Tailor your resume to show progression in financial modeling, reporting, or strategic planning. Employers at this level want candidates who have operated with real accountability, so concrete examples of scope and results carry more weight than job titles alone.
Which companies hire mid level chief financial officers?
Companies hiring mid level chief financial officers right now include Jobot, Farnsworth, and Temple University Health System, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Hiring at this level covers publicly traded corporations, private-equity-backed firms, and growth-stage companies that need experienced finance professionals who can operate independently inside a larger team.
Are there remote mid level chief financial officer jobs?
Yes, though availability varies by employer and industry. About 36% of mid level chief financial officer openings are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, making flexible arrangements a realistic option. Companies with distributed operations or strong finance-team infrastructure tend to offer the most remote-friendly roles at this level.
How do I move up to a mid level chief financial officer role?
The path from entry level to mid level in finance runs through demonstrated ownership: taking full responsibility for a reporting process, leading a budget cycle, or managing a junior analyst. Building depth in financial modeling, variance analysis, and cross-functional collaboration signals readiness. Measurable results, such as improved forecast accuracy or cost savings identified, are what distinguish candidates ready for the step up.
Which industries hire the most mid level chief financial officers?
Mid Level chief financial officer roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services, Staffing & Recruiting, and Consulting & Professional Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. These sectors tend to drive demand at the mid level because they operate with complex capital structures, regulatory reporting requirements, or rapid growth that requires experienced finance professionals who can work independently.
